Viking Fury Spinfinity

Viking Fury Spinfinity: Slot Overview

Not being professional historians, please forgive us for any ignorance, but Vikings, back in the day, surely lived largely peaceful lives, tending crops, raising kids, and engaging in low-key recreational activities. Like, they couldn't be fighting all of the time, could they? Perhaps we've got tv and movies to blame for the image of the eternally miffed Viking warrior. Not sure; maybe they did fight all the time? Anyway, here's another form of entertainment which reinforces the stereotype of the angry Norse warrior. It's an online slot titled Viking Fury Spinfinity and comes from software provider Blueprint Gaming.

Despite the word 'fury' in the title, Viking Fury Spinfinity actually comes across as a friendly slot, really. From a visual standpoint, at least, we'll get to the business side of things soon enough. Its maker has shunned the gloomy approach Hacksaw Gaming used in Stormforged to create a buoyant game, heavy on the colourful side, and while there is a Viking character symbol which looks a little berserk, there was a suspicion it's the sort of berserk that would quickly fizzle out after a hearty handshake and a talking though of any differences. In short, Viking Fury Spinfinity is a cheerful-looking game that relies on its mathematical characteristics to bludgeon players or reward them, depending on which way fortune is flowing on the day.

Viking Fury Spinfinity is a scatter-paying slot played on a 6-reel, 5-row gaming panel. We've seen a few of these of late, and like a lot of them, when 8 or more identical symbols land anywhere in view, a payout is triggered. This it does with the aid of a highly volatile math model, producing a theoretical return to player value of either 96.01% or the 94% version, pays to check. Regular hits come at a rate of 33.33% while activating free spins has average odds of 1 in 470 spins. When it's time to pick a bet, the options range from 20 p/c to $/€20.

As for symbols, Viking Fury Spinfinity has 9 regular pays, split into low pay purple, green, blue and red gems, then an axe, horn, hammer, helmet, and the previously mentioned Viking character as the high pays. Scatter wins made up of 8-9 matching symbols pay 0.2 to 2 times the bet, while 12+ matching symbols will pay 0.6 to 50 times the bet. Somewhat heroically for a scatter paying slot, Blueprint Gaming has injected a wild symbol, which is both wild, so it substitutes for any pay symbol and the scatter. Mystery symbols, when they appear, transform into any other symbol. During Spinfinity, mystery symbols reveal a new symbol each time the symbols step.

Viking Fury Spinfinity: Slot Features

We've touched on the wild/scatter Viking ship symbols; the other features in Viking Fury Spinfinity are the Spinfinity system, Viking Fury Multipliers, free spins, the Extra Bet, and the Bonus Buy.

Spinfinity

When a scatter win forms on the reels, the reels move one position in the direction indicated by the compass next to the grid. Possible directions are left, right, up, or down. The Spinfinity function continues to roll as long as wins keep on hitting.

Viking Fury Multipliers

Viking Fury Multipliers randomly land on the reels where their values accumulate. At the end of a Spinfinity sequence, the total multiplier value is applied to the total win.

Free Spins

Landing 4 or more wild/scatter symbols triggers 12 free spins, while any additional scatters are collected by the bonus game meter. This meter persists through free spins, and each 4 scatter symbols it gathers awards an additional 3 free spins. At the start of the feature, a random number of multipliers are added to the gaming grid. Multipliers which land during free spins are stacked until a win hits; then, it is applied.

Extra Bet

Players have the option of engaging the Extra Bet by upping the stake by 25%. Doing see means the bonus game will be triggered by 3 scatter symbols rather than the usual 4.

Bonus Buy

Or, you could just buy free spins outright instead of waiting for scatters to organically hit. There are two choices for doing so. One is 100x the bet to buy the regular bonus game, and the other is 350x the bet to buy the ultimate fury bonus game with mystery symbols active. The bonus buy RTP is 96%.

Viking Fury Spinfinity: Slot Verdict

Despite all the talk about fury, Blueprint Gaming has given Viking Fury Spinfinity a bubbly spirit, a semi-arcadish type thing that does a nice job of attracting attention. The studio has a knack for creating friendly, inviting, looking games like Diamond Mine Megaways, Genie Jackpots, or its vast Fishin' Frenzy line-up, and Viking Fury Spinfinity is another one like these. Like Vikings Unleashed Megaways, Viking Fury Spinfinity makes the life of a berserk Viking warrior seem rather pleasant, so diving in to see what else the game has to offer was enticing.

Once seen in action, Viking Fury Spinfinity was able to dig its hooks in pretty deep with the Spinfinity system, as well. Scatter win games were burning hot at the time of writing, with a number of studios from Max Win Gaming with its space slot 5 Monsters to Thunderkick's Jiggly Cash, and plenty more besides being released - including Rise of Atlantis from Blueprint Gaming. Another slot which Viking Fury Spinfinity closely resembled, technically speaking, is Pragmatic Play's candy slot, Sweet Powernudge. The reason why is that cluster wins in Sweet Powernudge also move the grid around when they occur. However, in Pragmatic Play's game, the reels only move one direction - down. In Viking Fury Spinfinity, they bob about in all cardinal directions of the compass, depending on the way it is pointing. Quite a fun innovation, too, as the board moves here, there and everywhere during a scatter-win sequence. Toss in some multipliers (another Pragmatic Pay scatter pay staple), and you've got a game which has a technical win cap of €282,646.75 or 50,000x the bet, whichever comes first.

For those interested in an innovative pay-anywhere slot (who maybe don't suffer from motion sickness) would probably do quite well to set sail with Viking Fury Spinfinity. Its pleasant atmosphere, wandering grid dynamic, solid features and numbers make it worth it for fans of this style to take out for a spin or two.
